Museum Exhibition honours Stephen Hawkings

The exhibition at the Science Museum, London, entitled "Stephen Hawking: A 70th Birthday Celebration",  marks the first time items from Hawking's personal archives have been on display. These include a model of the gravitational pull of a black hole made by Hawking, his drawing of the Hawking radiation mechanism (a result of quantum mechanics that proposes black holes actually glow), the annotated script for his 1999 guest appearance on "The Simpsons," and the blue suit he wore for a zero-gravity flight in 2007 aboard space tourism company Zero Gravity Corporation's Boeing 727.

The famed physicist has longer than the predicted time despite the degenerative Lou Gehrig's disease.
